  • Right-wing political violence is more frequent, deadly than left-wing violence

  • The Nation, oldest progressive newspaper in the US, doesn't pull any punches

    Jump

  • You're confusing incitement and provocation.

    Incitement involves actively encouraging action.

    "you're bad at hockey and your mother is large" might be provocation

    "It is time for us to take up arms against the enemy" is incitement

  • Zoom’s CEO agrees with Bill Gates, Jensen Huang, and Jamie Dimon: A 3-day workweek is coming soon thanks to AI

    Jump

  • I did post this before reading the article, the entire premise of the (CEOs quoted in the) article is "AI more productive therefore less work required" which only shows that the several CEOs mentioned including Bill fucking Gates are all deeply and inexcusably ignorant of labour or even economic history.

  • Zoom’s CEO agrees with Bill Gates, Jensen Huang, and Jamie Dimon: A 3-day workweek is coming soon thanks to AI

    Jump

  • Productivity has more than doubled since the 5 day workweek was introduced 1. We could have that right now. At least a four day work week has been proven to be more productive in multiple studies.

    So what can AI do that hasn't already been done?

    Glad they were responsive, I'm used to customer support lines just pussyfooting around.

    Hopefully they weren't just trying to prevent you caterwauling

    I wonder if the old fan failed due to tin whiskers?

    I'll see myself out

  • The Spell Brigade is ending Native Linux support due to multiple issues

    Jump

  • What distro choices could actually affect how well a game works across Linux setups? The only one i can think of is maybe sound API with Pulse Compatible vs ALSA only (now very rare) vs JACK only.

    Graphics APIs are uniform (Vulkan or OpenGL). Networking APIs have been uniform for decades. Controller API had a brief disruption in the joystick API vs Event API which I believe has very much resolved in favour of the latter.

    What am I missing? /gen

  • "Free Range" is regulated, but the threshold is unusually low compared to other countries.

    Pastured or pasture raised is a much stronger standard but as far as i can tell not legally protected.

  • Australia’s highest court denies decorated Afghanistan veteran Ben Roberts-Smith’s final appeal

    Jump

  • The only Australian veteran to be convicted over war crime allegations in Afghanistan has been army whistleblower David McBride.

    The former army lawyer was sentenced last year to five years and eight months in prison after pleading guilty to charges associated with leaking allegations of war crimes to the media.

    It's honestly hard to keep straight in my head how awful everything to do with this is

  • Cory Doctorow New Book: Enshitification

    Jump

  • For non-fiction I've read Chokepoint Capitalism and The Internet Con. The Internet Con was a lot like his online essays, to the point where it felt redundant, but he does good essays so if you haven't read them it's a good way to get around his work. Chokepoint Capitalism was a little more novel (probably in part because he coauthoured). Neither were very dry, which is significant for the genre.

    Fiction, I've read Walkaway and Unauthorised Bread. Walkaway is good worldbuilding with both fascinating and bizarre ideas, but I don't think it's good fiction. Unauthorised Bread is a short story available online and is excellent.

  • Cory Doctorow New Book: Enshitification

    Jump

  • I assume this is specific to his fiction?

    Very much my experience with Walkaway. Unauthorized bread (short story) was a little better executed imo.

  • What is a good reusable bottle that isn't a mould farm?

    Jump

  • Gaskets are consumables, whatever bottle you get, make sure you can source additional gaskets.

  • Good actually user friendly foss chat app?

    Jump

  • Conversations.im

    Has an onboarding wizard, includes text, voice and video calling, OMEMO encryption, group chats etc.

    But more importantly, what have you tried and why didn't they work for you?

  • That's regular.

  • Men writing women be like

    Jump

  • I'll second less-specific descriptions. My imagination tends to exaggerate; a book says a character has a long nose? I'm picturing a witch. A strong jaw? I'm thinking Heavy from Team Fortress 2. High cheekbones? Gollum.

  • When something still uses micro USB in 2025

    Jump

  • The vast majority of micro USB cables are A to B cables, but USB A to micro USB B. Maybe if they had been introduced now when super thin laptops are a thing they micro USB A might have become more popular. Or more likely, the problem with the A/B distinction would have become more obvious sooner
